SUMMARY OF BELIEFS
Below is a list of beliefs that our group is founded on, but please do not think that you have to share these beliefs to come to our discussion group. We respect boundaries. We’re here to explore together and will give you the space to make your own decision.
GOD
We believe in one God who loves and values each and every one of us.
CREATION
We believe God created the universe and everything in it. We don’t worry so much about the “how” although we find it a fascinating subject to explore!
SIN
We know that all of us are flawed and make mistakes. We don’t believe guilting others is helpful; we strive to support each other as we work through our personal struggles with God.
SALVATION
We believe there is life after death. We believe God loves every person and wants them to be a part of His family and be with Him after this life. This is a personal decision that we believe every person has to decide for themselves. We respect you and your decision. Our role is to offer a place to explore who God is so you can make that decision for yourself.
JESUS
We believe God entered the world in the form of a human named Jesus. He is God’s plan for bringing us into His family.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe God sent His spirit into the world to speak to each of us, so we might all become a part of His family. We trust that God is speaking to you.
THE BIBLE
We believe God partnered with human writers to bring His message to the world in the form of the Bible. We recognize that some parts of the Bible are hard to interpret, but we believe its message is true and incredibly important for all of us. We strive to understand what the original authors were trying to say and how their message applies to us today.
CHURCH
We believe the church is not a building; it’s people connecting with God and each other through relationships. We are committed to living out Jesus’ teachings that he summarized this way; to love God and love people.
